Al-Muhajabah's Movable Type Tips

There are a number of ways to create printable versions of your blog entries. One way is to create a special stylesheet for when the media is "print". Another way is to create a new template for the printable version. You can do this the normal way and have a second set of pages on your server - or you can use mt-view.cgi to dynamically generate the printable page only when somebody requests it.

Follow the instructions given previously to set up mt-view.cgi and apply the hack if you have not already done so.

Create a new template (mine is called "print") that looks the way you would like your printable page to be. Then link to this template as follows:

<a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-view.cgi/<$MTBlogID$>/entry/<$MTEntryID$>/print">Print this entry</a>
